There should be an option for “tried like hell, but couldn’t get my hands on one.” This would describe me and the pro controller. Although, I did manage to preorder the system… but I wanted the controller more.
Media blackout baby. I loved what I didn’t see. And I’m gonna keep not seeing it until release day. Gotta be honest, going into this completely blind is kinda exciting. Kinda wish Nintendo never said anything at all. But that’s just me. Hope everyone is happy with what they saw.
Did they fix the issue with the character being too floaty? I stopped playing because I kept getting tagged for reasons not beyond my control, but because of the mushy feel of movement, were beyond my control.
I went with “a pretty good spread” but, I am sick of dealing with the Switch’s power output. Or lack thereof. I have a Series X, a PS5 and a Switch, all hooked up to a 75” QNED. When I “switch” between them to play different games, the visual downgrade is eye watering. I mean that literally. My eyes water. Choppy frame rates and barely HD graphics make me sad. And then, even sadder, when I know that Nintendo will do nothing about it. Sorry Nintendo, graphics DO matter. Bayonetta 3 is currently suffering for it. If they could manage to get their next system to be on par with PS4 Pro or One X, I’ll shut up. Until then, my Switch is getting the side eye treatment.
@Pho No, I’m not. I don’t think I can take on any more MH. I’ve got a Switch, PS5 and Series X, with a wild backlog for each. It’s Sunbreak until there’s nothing left to do in it. Then I’ll try a different MH.
Sword of the Vagrant and Sword Ship for me. I wish Asronite wasn’t monochromatic. Lots of color would really make that game shine and I’d buy it in an instant. I can’t do it and I’m torn.
I’ve already got one Pokémon game taking over my life and that’s Sunbreak. So, I can dodge that bullet and everything else doesn’t interest me. Thanks goodness
Chat and text. For the love of god. If someone is on my friend list, I should, at least, be able to send a text. The child protection excuse is poor, because that’s easily circumvented via parental controls. Don’t want your kids talking to weirdos? They can’t. Not without mom and dad’s parental codes. Done.
The grind in this game is a little too real. I’m at anomaly level 100 and level 111 is taking forever. There needs to be an adult mode that takes people with careers and life statuses into consideration. Not everyone playing games is a kid with infinite time to play. Starting to lose interest.
No game has ever given me nightmares. BUT, if I were a kid and I saw/heard the Regenerators from RE4… yup, nightmares. The movement, breathing and that kooky music that accompanies them, HORRIFYING.
If the report is true, then it seems as though Ms Taylor was banking (no pun intended) on the idea, that she IS Bayonetta and because of that, Platinum would pay it. No matter how outlandish the amount. And if that was her game plan going in, she blew it. This seems to me, like she was given bad advice on how to handle it… maybe. Also, her plan backfired. Bayonetta is all over the place now and more people are now interested in it. Good job???
I’m torn. Now, I agree with Helena that how the money side of things, ain’t quite what it needs to be. BUT, I also think asking fans to boycott is a mistake. The reason is, if we do boycott in mass and Bayonetta doesn’t turn a profit, then we can all say goodbye to our favorite Umbra Witch forever. Nobody wins. Now, she did do the right thing by calling them out, but the boycott rally cry is a step too far. If she had left that part out, it would’ve left room for reconciliation in the future. This particular course of action, pretty much guarantees that this role will never be hers again. Especially if Kamiya has anything to say about it… and I’m sure he does.
And, after writing all that, yes I will be picking up Bayonetta 3. I’m not done with her yet and I want her to continue on. Boycotting will put her back in her coffin for another 500 years and I can’t wait that long.
Thrilled that there’s nothing for me. Also, what happened to Assault Blade??? It was supposed to come out Sep 30th on all consoles and it’s appeared on none of them. Really want this for my Switch
I hope they update the layered weapons, so that if we want, we can lock a layered weapon to a specific weapon. Instead of it just carrying over to every weapon after it’s equipped. It annoys me

Dammit, I’ll wait for a sale. I’ve been quietly dying for this one. Bummed…
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd March (North America)
Maybe Gripper. I need a few good reviews to pull the trigger on it though.

Since we’re talking about games that disappeared. Can we get an update on Victory Heat Rally?
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th January (North America)
@Guitario Thank you. That’s been bothering me for awhile now.

Re: Feature: The Best Hidden Gems And Underrated Switch Games Of 2022
Jack Move is excellent and I don’t like turned based rpgs. Cool animations and great music. I’ll be honest, it was the music that sold me.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Gearing Up For "Several Free Title Updates" In 2023

Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Gearing Up For "Several Free Title Updates" In 2023
@Pho Yeah, I saw you switch over to 3U. You’re already level 200? HOW?!?!? I’m Anomaly 129 and hating the grind. Good gravy…
Re: Lone Ruin Casts A Spell With Stunning Twin-Stick Roguelike Action In January
If that music is in the game, count me in. Love drum and bass electronica.
Re: Video: 11 Exciting New Games Coming to Nintendo Switch In December
Sports Story, River City Girls 2 (which comes out on the 15th) and maybe Samurai Maiden
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st December (North America)
Sword of the Vagrant and Sword Ship for me. I wish Asronite wasn’t monochromatic. Lots of color would really make that game shine and I’d buy it in an instant. I can’t do it and I’m torn.
Re: Review: The Knight Witch - An Intense Fusion Of Metroidvania And Bullet Hell
I’m gonna bite the bullet and do it. Couple of patches later, it should be good to go (I’ve got enough to play in the meantime)
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th November (North America)
Knight Witch and maybe Soccer Story. That’s it

I got excited there for a minute. Thought the devs pushed up the release date for Sports Story. Damn it!

Hoping for River City Girls 2, Victory Heat Rally, Ninja Issen, Silk Song and for the love of God, SPORTS STORY info.

@NEMO86 I mean, I applaud your realistic viewpoint (and secretly agree with you) but I’m trying to remain optimistic for you guys. Good luck!
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd November (North America)
Nothing for me this week, but best of luck to all the Sonic players out there. I’m rooting for you!

BAYONETTA!!! Finally, I’m getting it physical tonight. Gonna give Signalis a try on GamePass. If I like it, I’ll pick it up on Switch
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Director Reveals New Info About Title Update 3
Please buff the Insect Glaive and while you’re at it, let us Switch Skill Swap in mid air. This, for us Glaive users especially, would be awesome

Two heavy hitters this week, but I’m holding out for Bayonetta. Counting the days

I bought this and heard elsewhere that it needs a performance patch. So I’m holding off playing it, until then. I’ll keep an eye out for said patch.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Music Track From A Nintendo Game?
N64 Zora’s Domain. I put that song on a 10 hr YouTube loop and sleep to it. Really, just a beautiful song.

Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Teaser Trailer Is Finally Here
Pratt = no. It’s not bad. It just doesn’t sound/feel like Mario. Everything else looks/sounds good though.

@mikegamer Both, the loop is real though and thank god
